“A truly great experience with Brigit. It was a very cold & misty morning. Lucky for us she wore a bright red coat. We walked briskly to all the important sights. Brigit's information was concise, interesting and useful. We are so happy we did this tour as an introduction to Salzburg. But even if you did the tour before you left the city it would be very worth your while.”
